Guidance Note on Gender Equality In and Through Education

This guidance note first outlines key principles for a gender-responsive approach to education programming and addresses some of the most common misconceptions and arguments against gender-responsive education. It then gives concrete strategies and actions for putting gender equality into practice in the major domains of education in emergencies, framed by the INEE Minimum Standards. Finally, a glossary of key gender terms, a list of useful resources for further reading, and a tool for gathering information about why girls and boys are not in school are provided as annexes.
